Lenovo ThinkCentre M720q Tiny Desktop PC i7-8700 16 GB DDR4 128 GB M.2 SSD + 1 TB HDD

Compact business desktop with i7-8700

The Lenovo ThinkCentre M720q is a micro-form-factor desktop built around an 8th Gen Intel Core i7-8700 hexa-core processor running at 3.20 GHz with a 4.60 GHz turbo boost. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory, a 128 GB M.2 SSD for the operating system and a 1 TB hard drive for bulk storage. Windows 10 Pro, a USB keyboard and a USB mouse are included. This configuration targets office users who need a small footprint without sacrificing multi-threaded performance.

Sustained workload behaviour

The 65 W processor can maintain elevated frequencies during extended multi-core tasks thanks to the tiny chassis thermal design. The dual-drive layout keeps the OS responsive on the M.2 SSD while the 1 TB hard drive absorbs large sequential writes without filling the faster tier. Intel UHD Graphics handles typical business displays and video playback without adding heat from a discrete card. The supplied USB Wi-Fi dongle provides 5 GHz wireless connectivity for stable network traffic.

Setup checks before ordering

Verify that your monitors use HDMI, DisplayPort or VGA inputs compatible with the integrated graphics outputs on this model. Ensure you have a free USB port for the included wireless dongle if wired Ethernet is not available. Confirm that 16 GB of DDR4 memory meets your application requirements, as the board supports up to 32 GB. The micro case limits internal expansion, so plan for external peripherals if you need additional storage or specialised add-in cards.
